Beautiful Hair

[@hermionejj41]

1st of all, your hair is beautiful 🔥🔥🔥. Love it❤. My question is, this colour is only for your roots. What about your entire hair. What colour did you use? I need to colour my hair as well, but looking for the exact colour you have for your entire head.

[@locsandthecity]

I colored my hair with the same color before having locs and before that I had a slightly different shade of brown from Dark and Lovely that you might notice on the very ends of my locs. Other than that, my entire head has been colored the same color through touching up the roots as they grow out. I will note that some strands seemed to get lighter during the summer when I'm outside a lot so it gives the appearance of more dimension, but I promise I'm using the same color that I was 4-5 years ago haha

[@locsandthecity]

I'll also note that my ends have lightened up a lot on their own and that they aren't the original color that I dyed them...again, I think it's just sunbleaching mixed with how the color faded over time.

[@imported4104]

Beautiful! When you did all of your loc, how many boxes did you use?

[@locsandthecity]

I had been coloring my hair prior to locs...and I think I used just over 2 boxes at the time, so I bought 3 total.

[@lacreshajohnson5576]

Love this color. Typically, dye mine lighter almost blonde. Now with locs i will do your color for darker shade. Do you wash after dying your hair??

[@fandomtrash3192]

No you dont need to wash your hair after dying it. Just need to rinse the dye out until the water runs clear !

[@aleashamason8497]

Please try to avoid using any bleach products for your locs. They will ruin them over time. This is a perfect solution since it’s no bleach 🙌🏾

[@locsandthecity]

I rinse throughly and then do my regular wash a few days later or the following week. My hair is generally a few days to a week post-wash when I dye it.

[@melodylyles9892]

Stop the madness. Box dyes are terrible for my locs. No cap, no conditioner, no little brown rubber bands - they get tangled and cut like a knife. She is not a typical loc. Her hair looks healthy for now.

[@annmartin8038]

Hi how you, I am new to your KZbin channel and I just finished watching your video you dreadlocks are absolutely beautiful I love this color I was thinking of coloring my hair this color and wanted to ask you question if you don't mind I have my deadlocks for 2 years so I'm completely locked up and i wanted to know should I be using the developer like 30 volume creme to help me lift this color So it would penetrate deeper into my dreadlocks and get a better results or should I just use what comes in the box by itself I just wanted to make sure before I colored my hair also I have small to medium locs so I have 135 dreadlocks thank you in advance and have a blessed day

[@locsandthecity]

Welcome! I personally haven't ever mixed other third party products with what comes in the box, but I have seen some videos of others doing it...because I haven't tried it both ways on my own naturally dark hair then I'm not exactly sure if it would work better or not. I do know that on dark and lovely'a website, for this color, they mentioned that the products in the box provide 2.5 levels of lift. A 30 developer would be ideal for lifting 3 levels depending on texture and natural hair color. If there was going to be a difference, my assumption is that it wouldn't be by a ton, but DISCLAIMER, I am not a professional and I've just been doing my own hair forever!

[@msblackgold111]

Quick question: Why don't you wash your hair after coloring it?

[@opocoyo]

Do you remember the dark and lovely colour you used on your ends? ❤

[@locsandthecity]

Whew that was a time ago 😅 but it was either Brown Cinnamon or Brown Sugar. My ends lightened a lot on their own overtime from probably being outside and swimming, so the color that you see on my ends isn't how it originally looked.

[@myriamdiaby9054]

Hi did you bleach your hair before color

[@locsandthecity]

I didn't. I only used what comes in the box.

[@anicejenkins4966]

Are those sister locs or no ?

[@stacystacy754]

Hey I know you said that the ends are from time and the sun, but you also mentioned that you used a slightly different shade of brown, do you remember the shade?

[@locsandthecity]

It was either Brown Cinnamon or Brown Sugar from dark and lovely. The color on my ends now doesn't look like how it was when I first did it years ago.

[@Locdjewelz]

What color is on the ends?

[@locsandthecity]

It was either Brown Cinnamon or Brown Sugar. Still in the brown shades. My ends lightened a lot on their own overtime, so the color that you see on my ends isn't how it originally looked.
